Mary J Blige has spoken about her recent duet with Beyoncé, describing it as an "amazing" experience.
'Love a Woman', which appears of Blige's forthcoming My Life II... The Journey Continues, Act I album, was originally intended for Beyoncé's recent 4 collection, the singer revealed.
"[Love a Woman] was a song [Beyoncé] recorded for her album that didn't fit and she sent it through her A&R people to give to me," she told MTV.
"When the song came, her voice was on it completely and it was just amazing and I wasn't sure that they wanted to give me this record because it was so amazing."
She added that she may release the duet as a single in the future, saying: "I'm sure 'Love a Woman' would be a single but I can't really trouble Beyoncé right now.
"She's pregnant and I'm sure she's doing her stuff. So whenever she's ready, if she's ever ready, I'm ready and it'll be great."
Mary J. Blige will release her tenth studio album on November 21.
